Painted Pumpkins – Cheap to Pretty Chic!

Hey friends! I did a little-painted pumpkin project last week that turned out so well I just had to share! Using chalk paint completely transformed my cheap dollar store faux pumpkins into pretty pumpkins that can be displayed all fall!

If you walk into any dollar store, big box, or a craft store you’re bound to see some faux pumpkins. Today I’m showing you how you can jazz up these inexpensive pumpkins with a little bit of paint and Rub ‘n Buff!

I love these pumpkins Linda!!! I want white pumpkins for my mantle this year and haven’t been able to find any small ones…I never thought about painting the ones I have, genius!!! Oh, and I love your printables, I downloaded them!! Thank you for sharing at TaDa Thursday!!

Susanne, I love the option to customize the pumpkins with any color I want with paint! I hope you try it out. It really was an easy project. Yay!!! I’m glad you like the printable’s! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. ☺️

Love this idea and I know I can do it. I was considering how to make my coastal decor in my lower level look fall when everything is aqua and soft. This would be a great solution! Really great idea and instruction.

Love the way these turned out. I haven’t done anything with chalk paint. It’s nice to know you can get it in a smal crafting size. The gold added just the right touch! Rub ‘n Buff is a great product. I’ve used it to touch things up through the years and add accents. Cute project!

Linda,
I love your aqua decor for fall. I just started using teal/aqua in my living room and this will be ideal. I have tons of the DT fall items. Love the way you have your mini pumpkins perched on candlesticks. Thanks for the inspiration!

The first thing coming to my mind when seeing your post is WOW. I’m sure those lovely items will be great choice for decoration in any season. By the way, the colors you choose are quite sweet. I love them so much.

I have never seen any type of pumpkin at the Dollatpr Tree/Store other than the styrofoam. I tried painting a couple last year, and they looked like painted styrofoam. I’ve painted for years, so am not new to it, but I’d certainly love to know how so many people get these pumpkins to look decent.

Stay updated!
